All about mom coasters

Here is a simple, inexpensive,usable, but cute project you can have your scouts make for mom, or grandma for Mother's Day


Materials need



  • 4-8-4.5" x 4.5" tiles(you can use any amount you prefer. these can be found at any hardware store for between .16-.25cents
  • Windex
  • paper towel
  • Modge Podge
  • foam brush
  • felt(which I forgot in the picture)
  • Printable from  HERE or you can make your own. 

Step 1: Start by cleaning/drying each tile with windex

Step 2: Have your child answer the questions on each square and or draw a picture, use the blank one for a picture of the child. (I would have had them color their pictures or use markers to write their answers so there is a little more color to them)


Step 3:Cut out each of the squares


Step 4: apply a thin coat of modge podge on the back of one of the papers(it is kind of hard to see in the picture) and apply to the center of the tile(picture below), I had the after thought of adding a piece of scrapbook paper to the tile first before adding the question(I would cut mine as a 4x4 square).







Step 5: Once tile is completely dry apply a thin coat of modge podge on top of the tile over the paper, then let dry. 

Step 6: Repeat step 5 

Repeat this process with each tile until you are done

Step 6: Cut a 4"x4" square out of felt and hot glue onto the bottom of each tile this way there is no worries of the tiles scratching the surface.(Using white felt makes it hard to see, sorry)

Tie all of the tiles together with a cute ribbon and you have a cute mother's day gift.


This could pass off  Wolf E17a,c if you wrap them  or E17d if you do not wrap them. Also part of Bear 22b(square knot)
